Report from the Assistant Chief Executive.

Recommendations:

That Cabinet note:

1. The overall position in relation to the Year Ahead Delivery Plan activities.
   
   
2. The Quarter 2 2022-23 data for the Council Plan performance measures.
    

3.    The performance reporting timetable for the remainder of the 2022-2023 year.

Consideration was given to the report which was the third progress report on the Council Plan 2022-25 and the Year Ahead Delivery Plan. As of 24th November, 2022, the activities within the Year Ahead Delivery Plan were rated as follows:

·        49% (45) complete

·        39% (36) were on track to be delivered by original target date

·        4% (4) were delayed by less than 3 months

·        8% (7) would not be met within 3 months of original target date

During the meeting the Leader explained the reasons why some of the actions were off target. This related to survey results, measures of demand and reflections of the tough times facing the country (particularly in relation to unemployment figures.) Cabinet Members then highlighted areas of positivity from their portfolios along with any issues or concerns they had around missed or delayed actions.

The in-depth progress report on the Council Plan and Year Ahead Delivery Plan was attached as Appendix 1 to the report. The next update was due to be provided to Cabinet in March 2023.

This report had been considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Management Board as part of the pre-decision scrutiny process. The Board fully supported the recommendations but made a number of recommendations:
